351 C 2bbl History ??

Dave Noll · 01-11-2014, 06:25 PM

I'm curious how this engine started @ 164 hp and is now factored @ 240 hp. I see a 72 165/350 chev with more compression & a slightly bigger carb is between 224 - 230. I know I have the bigger ports/valves with the cleveland but I'm not finding that advantageous. I know of one person who tried the 351c 2bbl route but he couldnt run the numbers. Has somebody run this succesfully to get the # to 240 or was this just an NHRA "THING"?
